Is there a way I can set up my system to block messages from a specific email sender?
Thanks

We are using 8.9.3

Hi,
I have attached a doc that I feel you will find most helpfull.It will tell you in more detail what I am telling you below

But to block a sender you will create the an access file in /etc/mail. And there you will have the names of the people you want to blow or allow to relay. For example if you have the folling in your /etc/mail/access

spammer@aol.com REJECT

it will block spammer@aol.com.

Then you would create the access.db using makemap

makemap dbm /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access

and that should get you going.
